Bush 50W Soundbar £23.49 @ Argos.
Ok this isn't going to be the best soundbar ever at this price but at £23.49 for a 50w soundbar with a remote control, I think it's a great deal, and about the cheapest I have seen a soundbar.

i just used the headphone from the tv to soundbar. i was disappointed it didn't have optical connection as advertised but sound quality is very good using tv headphone to soundbar.

Had to buy a digital to analogue signal changer to use this with my TV as that only had an optical out. Definitely a big improvement on sound. I'm sure if you pay a lot more you'll get a lot better but I can't see what difference there would be between this sound bar and others up to about the £100 mark. Happy with the purchase, cheers op

Just purchased this for a friend and she is extactic, well pleased with purchase. thanks OP
BTW since the intial stock depletion I dont think argos have restocked them yet, the ones that people have been buying, IMO are customer returns, though argos wont admit that, not complaining though since they basically brand new and great price. :smiley: heat

Just picked one up. Great on the preset "movie" sound option from our tele. Not so sure about the others. Throws the sound nicely forward instead of at the wall behind as before. Bluetooth sound is decent too. Thanks op

Thanks for that. I did want one but not now seeing as it has ancient connection options.

Although the Argos description mentions it has an optical connection the actual photo of the connections does not show one so I dunno if it has one or not now for certain!
Mics, pass.

16 Dec 151#92
It doesn't have optical.... It has coax (comes with a coax to coax lead) and 2 phono ports (comes with a 2 phono to stereo jack lead). I've not had much time to try mine out to test the sound so can't rate it properly, but it seems better than the terrible tv speakers it's replacing. I would have liked a way to tweak sound settings on it manually (it only has a few presets like movies, flat etc) but for £23 I can't complain, it's obviously not as good as my £120 LG one though so don't expect miracles

Yes, similar one improved the sound of my Samsung TV and at this price its worth a go. The bluetooth function is a bonus to play your music over.

It really depends on 1. The TV you have and 2. The Soundbar you buy.
I have a 40" Toshiba (good picture, terrible sound) so the cheap soundbar i have attached is good and helps. But the 50" Sony in the living room sounds fantastic and I'm more than happy without one
